What, there are offices that help when your boss is mean to you? You are deluded.

Is there any reason you can't tell your boss that you're tired of him being an ass and leaving is not a personal insult against him?

People don't seem to realize that it is perfectly legal for your boss to be mean to you.

Ok.... Can you also bad-mouth the boss and talk to clients what a jerk he is then? If one can do it, can't the other?

No, you cannot. You are the employee. He is the boss. Your decision about whether you want to work there. OP can leave. She doesn't have to work out the remainder of her two weeks.

Ah, now we're getting somewhere. So leaving earlier than the two weeks is a legal option? Are there any drawbacks? (she's going to get bad-mouthed anyway, I don't see any negatives).

She said she has another job and gave her notice that she was leaving to go to that job. If she's being abused, I think she should just go. That's really her only option. She should consolidate her references in terms of other people she has worked for at the company/organization and just tell her boss she doesn't think it's in her, his, and the company's best interests for her to serve out the remaining time. She can write up a transition memo about her projects.

And there are no legalities involved with this -- two weeks notice is not a legal issue unless it's in your employment contract.

Please when people are leaving, they check out. If you want to, do what you can. Don't kill yourself. If it does not get done, its on your boss. You gone.

You're not likely to get a reference out of your boss even if you kiss ass for the next two weeks. All references do these days is confirm you were employed there from X date to Y date.
